    I searched but maybe what I'm looking into doing is too specific. I just changed my headunit to a jvc double din with Bluetooth and also added the metra axxes steering wheel control which works great by the way. My question is, since I have a "non jbl" radio (that I changed anyway) would anyone know if it would be possible to add the factory bluetooth steering wheel controls? I'm wondering if it would work since the volume buttons work on the other side with the new head unit. To make this sound easier, I'm trying to adapt the factory Bluetooth steering wheel buttons operate with a new head unit before I buy the actual switch. Thanks in advance

    I am assuming you have a 2012. I know for the 2011, it is not possible without a harness. I went through Crutchfield when I ordered my head unit and they hooked me up with everything I needed. If there is a way to do it that I dont know about, then please someone correct me.
